About Ylva Odenbring

Research interests

Focus of my research is in the field of sociology of education around social justice, student welfare and student victimisation. I have also conducted studies of children’s and adolescents’ everyday lives. Methodically, the research draws on ethnographic studies as well as interview studies. I am interested in the construction of gender, social class, student welfare, violence in school, processes of inclusion and exclusion in education as well as in the everyday lives of children and adolescents.

Current research projects

  • I'm participating researcher in the research project Implementing HPV vaccination for boys in Sweden: gender equality and sexual health among young people (2021-2024), funded by the Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare (Forte).
